EXCITING CHANGES TO COME!!!

Dick and I have made some big changes for the year to come!! We are downsizing to free us up to do the things we have always wanted to do ..... that is.... free to travel, spend more time together, follow His lead for new adventures, no more retail store after 27 years, more time with kids, but still MORE ART and probably some sewing classes for girls ..... that is a dream right now ..... but the ART won't stop, it will be here on the blog as soon as we finish remodeling our NEW/OLD smaller home about 20 miles away. SO STAY TUNED ... we'll be having a big sale and beautiful house and property SALE in the SUMMER!! MORE FREEDOM ON IT'S WAY!!! WooHoo!!! And THANKS for all your support the last twenty seven years in my shop!!!

PILAR'S ART

CHILDREN'S ART

I love to do art with children because it frees you up...you aren't doing a piece to please someone....just yourself....I find that so relaxing....not performing.

Folding Airplanes?

Well, a nice surprise from my hubby....he has discovered detailed paper airplane building (folding and gluing)....and makes the same kind of mess that he used to complain about when I made my crafty messes...but I have welcomed his company at the table!The paper airplanes come on a downloaded sheet of card stock from www.fiddlersgreen.net.....they are very pretty and very inexpensive....a great project for kids age 6 to 100 years old! They would even be pretty framed in a man or boy's or girl's room! Like for you, ELI !!! ...and Olivia, too. Check them out!

I bought some COPIC sketch markers last year or two ago and didn't like how dark they were, so I packed them away! Mary Ann Moss of dispatchfromla.typepad has been talking about them and uses them in her beautiful work! So I retried them and really like the very light colors I have and will order a few more!! You can layer the colors building deeper, mixed or toned down colors. Which paper to use is another post completely and I am researching that. I have used regular sketch paper/90lb here. Hope you enjoy this. The quote was on one of my very favorite artists and past teachers called MYSTELE.

The Initials AMP stands for Amplified translation....of that particular proverb. I like the way it reads....
